JINAN, May 8 (Xinhua) -- The Red Cross Society in Qingdao, a picturesque port city in east China's Shandong Province, receives a donation from an old man in his 70s every three months.
Every time, the man unwraps his handkerchief meticulously and takes out 300 yuan (about 37.5 U.S. dollars) saved from his pension and hands it over. He always comes and goes on foot, saying it is a waste of money to spend one yuan (12.5 cents) on a bus ticket.
The old man has kept doing this for more than one and a half years and has expressed his wish to be known as 'weichen,' the same as numerous others in the city."
